‘PoK belongs to India’: Amit Shah slams Mani Shankar Aiyar over ‘Pakistan has atom bomb’ comment

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday slammed senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar over his comments on Pakistan asserting that Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) is part of India and nobody can snatch it.

“Mani Shanker Aiyar is threatening the country to give respect to Pakistan as they have the atom bomb. A few days ago, Farooq Abdullah, the leader of the same INDIA bloc, had said that don’t talk about PoK, Pakistan has the atom bomb. I want to tell the Congress and the alliance that PoK belongs to India, no one can snatch it,” Mr. Shah told a rally in Khunti in Jharkhand.

“Instead of taking back PoK from Pakistan, Congress is scaring the people of India by talking about the atom bomb. I don’t know what has happened to the Congress party. BJP’s stand is clear that every inch of land of PoK belongs to India and should remain in India,” he said.
